Sadly, this thread has been utterly consumed by ridiculous argument. In retrospect, I find that its initial intentions were rather stupid, so I apologize.<P>Pandora, your denouncing of Peter Jackson's movies and defense of Bakshi's movies is an exercise in futility, since I doubt you will find many on this forum (or, for that matter, on this planet) who agree with your view. It is one thing to criticize, but you have obfuscated your inability to make a productive argument or critique of the movies by making wrathful accusations, and unsupported statements such as "These films have been badly directed, end of story" and "Elrond is simply a pain in the bum, as is Arwen," and touting them as factual.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>For me, it's more like - when the films are good, they are very very good, but when they are bad, they are mildly irritating. (The Saucepan Man)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I could not have said it better myself.<P>Cheers, Angmar
